Step-by-Step Guide

To createan effective and appealing look for your images, I will guide you through the individual steps of the process.

Image Editing and Look Creation

Start by selecting an image that you want to develop. This image will be the foundation for your look. I recommend choosing an image from a series to ensure a consistent style. Once you have selected your image, open it in Camera Raw.

Now you are ready to edit the image. The goal of this editing is to give the image a specific look. You can adjust the hues; I recommend choosing a warmer tone to achieve a summereffect.

Additionally, it is important to increase the clarity and vibrance of the image. This helps to highlight details and bring more life to the image. You can also experiment with the lights and shadows to optimize contrast. This is especially important for clearly depicting facial features and details in clothing.

Once you are satisfied with the editing of your image, it's time to save the look and make it available for other images.

Creating Your Own Look Preset

To save your look, go to the button that allows you to select your edits. A dialog will open where you can create your custom preset.

In the dialog, you can select all the settings you want to keep for the look. These include basic settings, tone curves, and detail sharpening. Make sure to select all areas you applied during the editing of your image.

Now you have the option to enter a name for your look. I recommend naming it after the desired style, e.g., "Summer Look." You can also decide whether to save the preset in a specific folder to maintain organization.

After you have created the preset, it’s time to apply it to other images. Select the images you want to apply the look to. This can be a single image or a whole series of images. You can select all images by pressing "Command A" (Mac) or "Ctrl A" (Windows).

Once you have marked the images, click on your previously created "Summer Look," and the look will be instantly applied to all selected images.
